Both long ago adopted state terror and genocide as official policy. <br><br> Both serve monied interests exclusively, grievously harming the great majority of their own people. Both wage endless wars of aggression.  <br><br> Palestine has been a war zone for nearly 70 years - with no letup, state-sponsored violence and persecution ebbing and flowing, at times exploding like summer 2014 and currently. <br><br> Netanyahu is an embarrassment to good governance, a war criminal belonging in prison, a world-class thug, an Arab-hating racist, a genocidist. <br><br> Palestinians are being summarily executed in cold blood, thousands more harmed and\/or imprisoned on phony charges or none at all. <br><br> Most cold-blooded murders are justified by false claims of confronting knife-wielding &ldquo;terrorists&rdquo; - Israel&rsquo;s explanation virtually every time without deviation or corroborating proof. Eye witness testimonies and video evidence most often disproves them. <br><br> On Monday, Netanyahu pledged no &ldquo;concessions or tribute&rdquo; to Palestinians, no conciliatory gestures to reduce tensions or try ending violence.  <br><br> Nothing to curb an endless cycle of state-sponsored brutality, victims blamed for well-planned, orchestrated and implemented regime crimes - fully supported by Washington. <br><br> Both nations bear full responsibility for ongoing violence and chaos, a ruthless pogrom - Nazism against an entire population with no end of horrors in prospect. <br><br> The latest incident made world headlines occurred on Sunday. An attacker, automatically called a Palestinian without evidence proving it, was lethally shot by Israeli police in a Beersheba bus station. <br><br> Haaretz said an Eritrean was mistakenly shot after being &ldquo;misidentified as a terrorist.&rdquo; He apparently had nothing to do with the incident - yet targeted for being Black, then identified as a &ldquo;foreign national&rdquo; residing in Israel. <br><br> Southern Israeli deputy police commissioner Yoram Levi said an attacker lethally shot a soldier, took his gun and continued shooting, wounding other Israelis. Some reports said 9 or 11, others 5. <br><br> An inflammatory New York Times account of the incident headlined &ldquo;Israeli Soldier Is Killed in Attack by Palestinian&rdquo; - even though police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld couldn&rsquo;t identify the identity of the suspect. <br><br> The Times automatically called him &ldquo;a Palestinian armed with a pistol and a knife,&rdquo; part of its longstanding one-sided support for Israel, its reporting disgracefully biased, devoid of credibility. <br><br> Since October 1, Israeli soldiers and police summarily executed at least 45 Palestinians, in virtually all cases called knife-wielding &ldquo;terrorists.&rdquo; <br><br> The Times regurgitates official Israeli propaganda instead of explaining how Palestinians are victimized - saying in its latest article &ldquo;more than 20 Palestinians (were) fatally shot,&rdquo; suppressing the true number. <br><br> Failing to explain only three Israelis were killed since October 1 (not higher misreported numbers). All were fatally shot - none killed by so-called knife-wielding &ldquo;terrorists.&rdquo; <br><br> Yet The Times persists in falsifying incidents - claiming &ldquo;five knife attacks against Israelis&rdquo; on Saturday, blaming Palestinians entirely for ongoing state-sponsored violence, exonerating Netanyahu-ordered viciousness. <br><br> Notorious racist settler rabbi\/deputy defense minister Eli Ben-Dahan calls Palestinians &ldquo;beasts,&rdquo; wants families of alleged &ldquo;terrorists&rdquo; expelled, their homes demolished, saying: <br><br> &ldquo;Demolishing terrorists&rsquo; houses and deporting their families is the best deterrent and most efficient way to deal with terrorism by individuals.&rdquo; <br><br> He urged Israelis to arm themselves with guns - &ldquo;be alert and (ready to use them to) prevent (more) terrorist attack(s),&rdquo; he blustered. <br><br> Israel&rsquo;s deplorable new Arab-hating UN envoy, Danny Danon, lied saying Palestinian authorities teach &ldquo;kids to stab Jews at school&rdquo; - wrongfully blaming them for &ldquo;incitement and hate&rdquo; against Israel. <br><br> &ldquo;Palestinian leaders have established an incubator to raise children as terrorists,&rdquo; he blustered - again blaming victims for Israeli high crimes, supported by Western leaders and go-along media scoundrels. <br><br> Fascist Israeli officials openly call for assassinating alleged Palestinian &ldquo;terrorists&rdquo; - leaving an entire population vulnerable to extrajudicial injustice, revved up Israeli state terror, operating unaccountably as usual. <br><br> Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.
